What a sneaky way to hide the descriptive stuff. I finally had the
chance to give it a look. Found the descriptive text. Yeah, it would be nice
if there was a way to sinc a particular description to the point it's
happening in the clip. Just show one phrase, then another when the scene
changes. If that's possible. But first Youtube, or somebody has to do
something to make that descriptive area more prominent, and easier to find.

Hello, Keith,

So where it says Dec. 14 and gives the likes and dislikes, press
spacebar, then down-arrow. You wil then encounter the descriptive text.
